>> newsroom. >> firing the messenger, u.s. president donald trump goes after the person behind the u.s. jobs report accusing her of manipulating the numbers. plus, the president says he'll reposition two nuclear submarines after what he called highly provocative comments from a top russian official and a commercial for a pair of pants is now at the center of an online culture war that the white house is wading into head first. >> live from. >> atlanta. this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber we begin with the fallout from president donald trump's scathing attack on the u.s. >> bureau of labor statistics. he fired the head of the agency after it released an alarming new jobs report on friday. it said only 73,000 jobs were added in july, and revised numbers for may and june, down sharply. the president accused the former commissioner without evidence of

manipulating the report for political purposes. the president also called on federal reserve chair jerome powell to step down after a member of the fed's board of governors said she's retiring early. trump claims she's quitting due to disagreements with powell over interest rates. now, some economists and lawmakers are slamming the president for firing the bls commissioner. cnn's jeff zeleny has more from washington as president trump left the white house on friday evening to spend a weekend at his bedminster golf resort, he was defending his decision to fire the commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics, that is, the office that oversees the monthly jobs report. >> this came in the wake of a very weak jobs report for july, showing only 73,000 new jobs were added, about half of what analysts suggested coming on the waves of the dramatic changes in trump's tariff program. he also was clearly offended and angered by the may and june revisions in that jobs report, saying that

fewer than 20,000 jobs were created each month, down from about a quarter of a million jobs. as initially forecast. now, those revisions are common. it happens every month in the job report. but the president seized on it and called it rigged. he said. the jobs report today were rigged. what evidence that you have that were that were rigged? >> oh, yeah, i think so. and if you look at before the election, the same kind of thing happened and i think you'll see some very interesting information come out. but we got rid of you have to have honest reports. and when you look at those numbers or when you look at just before the election and then after the election, they corrected it by 8 or 900,000 jobs. yeah, i would say so. >> the president producing no evidence that the jobs numbers were actually rigged. the beginning of setting up a narrative that we have seen before, trying to create a rationale for doing a decision like this. but some former officials from the bureau of labor statistics are calling on

congress to investigate this firing. even former trump appointees are saying that this could set a bad precedent. jobs numbers are always seen as nonpolitical, apolitical. so this is something that certainly could create a ripple effect going forward. but one thing it does not change are the challenges in the economy, the manufacturing sector and job creation. numbers have been weaker than the president would like. so clearly he's trying to fire the messenger here, but that doesn't change the bottom line about the economy. jeff zeleny, cnn, the white house cnn global economic analyst ronen bar, for her, explains how investors are reacting to the president's controversial move. >> the data was a little surprising, but absolutely not unexpected. a lot of us have been expecting that the economy would slow at some point soon. you know, just just as a factual matter, if you discount the quick down and up blip of covid, we're actually seven years overdue for recession by

historical standards. so weakening jobs numbers at this point doesn't surprise me. what does surprise me is that the president is politicizing yet another aspect of government functioning. first, it was the fed jay powell under pressure. now it's the person that's actually putting out the data, which by the way he wasn't complaining when good good jobs numbers came out from the same agency with the same commissioner. the thing that's very worrisome about this, this is what emerging markets do. this is what countries like china or turkey do when data comes in, that the officials don't like. the data is changed. and that's why those countries are uninvestable in some cases, or frightening off investors. that is what is at risk here. i've talked to several several international investors about the politicization of the basic functions, economic functions of government. this is what is going to drive them out of the u.s., and i'm not surprised to see the market reacting to all of this today. it's making

people very worried. >> and as she explained, president trump's new tariffs are shaking up global markets. u.s. stocks suffered from sell offs on friday following the trade announcement. the dow closed 1.2% lower, while the s&p 500 fell 1.6% and the nasdaq composite dropped nearly 2.25%. the s&p 500 and nasdaq posted their worst days since may and april, respectively. meanwhile, stocks across europe also closed lower on friday, with germany's dax index dropping 2.6% and france's cac 40 falling almost 3%. this comes after trump announced his revised tariff plan, which hiked rates for most countries. cnn's anna kuban has more on the potential impacts of president trump's new tariff scheme. >> so trump has done it again, announcing a huge round of tariffs on america's trading partners and spooking investors. now, there are a few things to watch out for next. firstly, how exactly will this affect u.s.

consumers? tariffs are essentially import taxes. they tend to raise the price of goods for end consumers. and those tariffs are set to rise for the vast majority of america's imported goods over time. higher prices on shelves could push up overall inflation, which means that for many americans, their monthly paycheck wouldn't go quite as far as it once did. secondly, how will this affect america's relationship with its allies? take canada. the white house increased its tariffs on some goods from 25 to 35% over claims that it's not done enough to prevent the flow of fentanyl into the u.s. canada says it's been working intensively to further reduce that flow. but all this happened soon after canada said it plans to recognize a palestinian state next month, provoking trump to say that that decision could derail trade talks. now, some canadian exports to the u.s. that are covered by a preexisting free trade agreement will be exempt from the higher rate. but by suddenly hiking tariffs on countries that's negotiating with america is testing some of its closest

alliances. and lastly, we'll trump chicken out because we've been here before with trump announcing new tariffs and delaying or retracting them, so much so that investors have coined a new term taco, which stands for trump always chickens out. given that most of the new tariffs are due to come in on august 7th, there are still plenty of time for that to happen. anna cuban, cnn, london. >> a u.s. federal appeals court has upheld a lower court's order that blocks the trump administration from carrying out indiscriminate immigration sweeps and arrests in california. the trump administration had asked the court to overturn that order, arguing it hindered their enforcement of immigration law. the judge in the earlier ruling said there was a, quote, mountain of evidence that the federal enforcement tactics were violating the constitution. immigrant advocacy groups accused the trump administration of systematically targeting brown skinned people in southern california. the judge says the government can't use factors like race, language, presence at

a location and occupation is the only criteria for reasonably suspicion to stop someone. ghislaine maxwell accomplice of late sex offender jeffrey epstein, has been transferred from a federal prison in florida to a lower security prison camp in texas. the move comes a week after she met privately with the deputy attorney general. as the epstein files fallout intensifies. cnn's ed lavandera visited the facility in bryan, texas, and has this report. >> one of the first things you notice when you arrive here at the federal prison camp in bryan, texas, is that much of it is not surrounded by tall fencing with razor wire. most of it is surrounded by a simple black metal fence that you would see in many residential neighborhoods across the country. and that kind of gets to the point here that this is a minimum security facility. we are told that there are more than 600 female inmates at this facility. and it's also, we should point out, very unusual that ghislaine maxwell was transferred here. this is a

facility, a prison camp that usually houses inmates that are considered to be low risk, not a flight risk, and also be nonviolent. but there are a number of high profile inmates at this particular location in bryan, texas. one of them, including jen shah, who was a cast member of the real housewives of salt lake city, and also elizabeth holmes, who was executive in the blood testing company theranos and part of a high profile criminal trial just a few years ago. but this facility has areas for outdoor recreation. there's an area underneath some oak trees in the shade where inmates can sit, and benches and chairs. they're simply surrounded by one chain with signs that say out of bounds. if you go beyond that area. and it literally sits right at the entrance into the prison camp. federal prison officials have not explained the details and the specifics of how maxwell was transferred from a facility, a more secure facility in tallahassee to this one here in texas. they have not explained that. but for the

moment, ghislaine maxwell is one of the most high profile inmates here at this prison camp. ed lavandera cnn brian, texas. >> we want to show you some live pictures. now, after a flight lasting almost 16 hours, the spacex dragon is now docked with the international space station astronauts from the spacex capsule are now on board the station. you can see them there. launched from the kennedy space center friday morning with four astronauts on board. they're planning to spend six months on the space station. they'll perform science experiments involving moon landing simulations, eyesight testing in zero-g conditions, and stem cell research. the four members of crew ten who've been on the station will return to earth. all right. still ahead, u.s. special envoy to the middle east visits a controversial aid site in gaza. we'll have more on the visit. as the israeli prime minister weighs his military's next operations inside the enclave. stay with us.

missile has entered production and will be deployed in belarus. it's the kind of weapon once banned under a defunct soviet era treaty. he also said moscow could use it against the countries that gave ukraine their longer range weapons for strikes on russia. the missile has already been battle tested in ukraine, where russia used it to strike the city of dnipro last november. the weapon is believed to have the range of up to 3400 miles, or 5500km. putin claims it flies ten times the speed of sound and can carry multiple warheads. moscow and washington are engaging in some nuclear saber rattling amid a verbal spat between their current and former presidents. former russian leader dmitry medvedev recently brought up russia's nuclear strike capabilities as part of a back and forth with u.s. president donald trump. they were arguing after trump shortened his deadline for russia to make peace with ukraine. but as natasha bertrand reports, trump answered by redeploying some of

his own nuclear fleet. >> president trump on friday announced that he is ordering two nuclear submarines to be deployed closer, potentially to russia. following remarks by former president, former russian president dmitry medvedev on social media, alluding to russia's nuclear capabilities, president trump essentially said that the reason why he's deploying these nuclear submarines is because, quote, medvedev has made foolish and inflammatory statements, and he wants to have these nuclear submarines available in the region. should those statements be, quote, more than just that, president trump said, quote, words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences. i hope this will not be one of those instances. now, it's unclear at this point just what kind of nuclear submarines are going to be repositioned. the u.s. has nuclear powered submarines, essentially all of its submarines are nuclear powered,

but only about 14 of them are actually capable of carrying nuclear weapons. and it is the long standing policy of the united states to neither confirm nor deny when its submarines that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads are actually carrying them. and so at this point, it's not clear what kind of submarines are being repositioned and just what they're carrying. however, it's worth noting that it is very extraordinary for the u.s. to reveal at all where its nuclear submarines actually are in the world. these nuclear capable submarines, they routinely patrol near u.s. adversaries, including russia and china, for example. but it is very, very uncommon and very rare for the u.s. to say anything about their particular whereabouts, because, of course, they are meant to operate in extreme secrecy. so what this is essentially doing is sending a signal to the russians that the u.s. has these capabilities and that they're nearby. we should

also note that as of right now, the kremlin has not responded to president trump's announcement that he would be deploying these nuclear submarines. natasha bertrand, cnn in washington. >> earlier, cnn spoke about the submarine deployment with former nato supreme allied commander, retired general wesley clark. and he said president trump's move plays right into russia's hands. here he is. >> it probably feeds the russian disinformation plan because it raises the temperature, scares people, that there might be a nuclear. and that's what russia's been trying to do all along, is scare people about nuclear. now, if you want an effective response, you push the weapons into ukraine and instead they've been slowed to a trickle. so, you know, this is just rhetoric, but it's rhetoric that he may think it makes him look strong and tough in front of some supporters, but actually it works against us and in favor of russia. well, i think

medvedev is a provocateur operating on mr. putin's instructions. and i think it's a it's a long series of these statements designed to intimidate the west, to not help us to rationalize not supporting ukraine. and so when we play into it with the nuclear submarine maneuvers, we're playing into that russian information game. but if you really want to move toward a ceasefire and toward a resolution, the only way to do it is on the ground. and that is you've got to stop the russian advance cold, and you've got to convince mr. putin he's going to lose. and he should stop right now because he's going to lose more if he continues. now, if you're not willing to do that, if you're afraid of doing that, he's going to continue to issue provocative statements. he's going to continue to say, oh, let's talk about peace. and he's going to send people forward. he's got 30,000 north korean troops lined up behind pokrovske. he's got a new

front. he's opening around sumy, and the big punch will come toward nikolayev and odessa sometime in september. now that's the russian game plan. that's what they've been working on. and all of the rest of the stuff is, is just. it's just nonsense. the sanctions are not going to stop that machine from coming forward. so we've got a few weeks to do more on the ground. that's it. >> residents are trying to pick up the pieces after russia's deadliest attack on ukraine's capital in a year. at least 31 people were killed in kyiv on thursday morning, with almost 160 others injured. most of the casualties came from a residential building that partially collapsed after taking a direct hit from a russian missile. nick paton walsh went to the scene. >> the night terror was commonplace. blasts. the buzz of drones across the capital

skyline. but the impact on the city's northwestern edges was not. a russian missile hit number 12 jubae street at about 4:40 a.m. thursday. dawn met with devastation and neighbors carrying their pets out. the force of the blast huge. but this drone shot shows just how the entire side torn away floors collapsing on the sleeping, officials said. six dead at first, but the gruesome task of unpacking the rubble got underway. the limp body of a boy carried out. rescuers cutting through wires, breaking through walls to get this man out. about five hours later but as they dug deeper, the numbers of dead shot up. dozens injured, but a total

of 28 dead here. and the panic came back to another air raid siren. survivors here, running to the shelter again some overwhelmed. others explaining they thought the air raid. all clear was given the night before. over 24 hours later, they could safely clear the rubble away. it's really hard to reconcile the sheer scale of the destruction here. i mean, the whole side of this building just torn off. you can see how so many died, floor collapsing on floor to reconcile the scale of the damage with the tiny little fragments of personal lives that have just been blown out across the dust here. people coming back in to the neighboring

block, taken out what they can. hard hats, mandatory. the whole lives here. completely upturned in a matter of seconds. killed by the kremlin here. six year old matvey marchenko, who loved karate with his elder brothers. i.t. specialist vitaly grabarchuk with his daughter vlada, 18, and irina humenyuk with her two daughters, nastia and elena. one miracle here, too, blown out of the ninth floor was veronica, aged 23, who landed with only a broken leg. >> hezbollah both her parents died in the attack. >> no bright spots here, just the hope it might somehow stop. nick paton walsh cnn kyiv,

>> i'm stephanie elam off the california coast. and this is cnn. >> after a visit from top u.s. officials, israel's prime minister has postponed making a decision on military operations in gaza until next week. that's if hamas doesn't agree to a deal, a source tells cnn. there have been disagreements within the israeli government about what they should do next, as hamas has reportedly withdrawn from cease fire and hostage release negotiations. u.s. president donald trump says he's working on a plan to get people fed as starvation grips gaza, israel and the u.s. back, a group called the gaza humanitarian foundation, the

u.s. ambassador to israel praised the group for delivering more than 100 million meals since its launch in may. with a population of 2.1 million people, that works out to less than one meal a day for each resident. president trump says he spoke with middle east envoy steve witkoff steve witkoff and the u.s. ambassador to israel visited one of the group's aid sites in gaza on friday. cnn's jeremy diamond has more from tel aviv. >> well, as starvation grips gaza, president trump dispatching his special envoy, steve witkoff, to go. >> on the. >> ground and see a distribution firsthand, wittkopf was inside of gaza for about five hours, assessing conditions on the ground, meeting with gaza humanitarian foundation officials, as well as receiving a briefing from the israeli military. wittkopf said that he was aiming to give president trump a clearer understanding of the humanitarian situation on the ground in order to inform u.s. plans to address those very conditions themselves. but

wittkopf was on the ground to witness a very specific model of aid distribution, and that is that of the controversial private american gaza humanitarian foundation, which is backed not only by the u.s. government but also by israel itself and the gaza humanitarian foundation has been heavily criticized by the united nations and pretty much every other ngo actually operating on the ground, because they say it has increased risks for palestinians. but the united states seems to be doubling down on this ghf model. we heard the u.s. ambassador to israel, mike huckabee, who joined witkoff on the ground saying that ghf has delivered 100 million meals in two months. he was touting this ghf model, but one figure that he didn't mention was the number 600. and that is the number more than 600. actually, number of people who have been killed as they've been trying to make their way to these ghf sites shot by israeli forces. according to eyewitnesses on the ground and a cnn analysis of

palestinian health ministry data. and in fact, as witkoff was on the ground today, yet another deadly incident took place near the very same ghf site that witkoff was visiting. three people were killed, six injured by gunfire near that very same ghf site, according to nasser hospital. eyewitnesses on the ground said that the israeli military opened fire on people who were headed to that site. >> as soon as witkoff arrived in the area, there was random gunfire. the shooting intensified, along with drones and quadcopters in the air, and they started firing at people. bodies are scattered all over the place. we can't survive like this. open the crossings. we want a truce. we want to live for the sake of god. we want to live. people are literally battling each other. witkoff and his visit are nonsense. >> a u.s. embassy spokesperson told me that they have not heard

any reports of clashes or injuries near the vicinity of the visit. the israeli military, however, confirmed that they fired what they described as warning shots at a gathering of suspects who they said were advancing towards israeli troops in rafah, in that southern part of the gaza strip. but they said they were not aware of any casualties. the question now is what will witkoff take away from this visit today, and how will it actually improve the situation on the ground? because for now, even as we have seen israeli restrictions that have been in place for months now, that led to this starvation crisis, many of those restrictions have been relaxed. we're seeing about 200 un trucks per day getting distributed inside of gaza, but that's still well short of the 5 to 600 trucks a day that u.n. officials say are needed. jeremy diamond, cnn, tel aviv. >> all right. for more on this, i want to bring in alon pinkas, former israeli consul general in new york, and he joins us from

tel aviv. good to see you again. so with whitcomb's visit and the comments that we've been hearing from president trump about the situation in gaza, do you get the sense that there's a shift going on at all in the white house? >> yeah. >> kim. >> i. >> mean, i get. >> the sense that there's a shift, but the question. >> is how. >> rapid that shift is going to be. >> i have no doubt, even though i don't know for a fact, i have no. >> doubt that part. >> of steve witkoff visit here. was to. >> warn netanyahu. >> that he's. making america. >> look bad. >> that he is. he's making. america and trump by extension, look complicit in what's going on in gaza. and he asks. >> him. >> to. curtail any widening of the war. military operations and. funnel in significantly more humanitarian aid. that's one thing. the second thing is that i think now it's. >> a. >> waiting game that. >> will not last. >> more than a week or so. if

there is no deal, and a deal does not seem likely in the next few days, and there's no military operation, what then if if footage of starvation, malnutrition and humanitarian catastrophe keeps coming out of gaza, which i am tragically sure it will, then that shift that you. >> were referring. >> to, may be quicker to materialize than we think, then trump could actually, you know, lose his patience. we all know that his attention span, his patience and his erratic behavior on this is notorious. and so we'll have to wait and see for a few days. >> okay, so if that actually happens, then i'm wondering sort of building on the question that our reporter was asking, sort of what the what the takeaway for witkoff will be if there is, you know, what you're talking about there and maybe a bit of a break with netanyahu. if donald trump

feels that he's being made to look bad concretely, how will that change things either on the ground in gaza in terms of possibly getting more aid in or affecting the stalled peace talks? >> well, i'll submit to you, kim, and a hypothetical trump loses patience in three days. three days from now, he picks up the phone and tells netanyahu the following. listen, i've been patient with you. you have made pledges to end this war as far back as january. in fact, even before i was inaugurated, i pushed you to sign that ceasefire deal in january. we both know that you violated it in march. since march. and now we're in august. since march, you've been telling me that you're going to end the war. you asked me for your assistance in iran and bombing, sending b-2 bombers to bomb three nuclear sites. i've done that yet. you haven't delivered. so here's the thing. you have 72 hours to

end this war. and immediately allow for humanitarian aid and mass to go into gaza, or there will be repercussions. he should not specify the repercussions. he should not even make this public necessarily. this this phone call, or at least the contents, if that happens, if this hypothetical and trump has it in his powers to do so, if he picks up the phone and tells netanyahu, basically you have three days to end this war, or else the war will end. believe it or not, the war will end. >> interesting hypothetical. we haven't seen any such, you know, firm deadline from trump so far. interesting to see whether that develops in the next couple of days. in the meantime, there is all of the global outrage that we've been seeing over the humanitarian situation in gaza. now, more countries planning to recognize a palestinian state. it seems as if israel is becoming more and

more isolated. what are the practical consequences of this? and does netanyahu's government care at all, or are they just kind of resigned to it? >> oh, they're resigned to it. in fact, they they relish it. they think it's us against the world. the world doesn't get it. the world is wrong. we know what we're doing. netanyahu has these delusions of grandeur that he's the savior of western civilization. but there is a critical mass that is being formed. i mean, when 147 countries out of 193 member states in the un recognize palestine in the last two years, we all said, you know, well, it's symbolic, it's declarative, it's impractical, it doesn't change reality on the ground. when three of israel's major allies, canada, britain and france, britain and france being also members of the permanent members of the security council when they come out with a pledge or an intention, a stated

intention to recognize a palestinian state, the practicality no longer matters. this is diplomatic pressure. the only missing, the only missing component in this is, as is what we've just discussed. the u.s. there's no question in my mind. look for out of the five permanent members, china, russia, britain and france basically recognize a palestinian state. does that mean that palestinian state will be established tomorrow? of course not. but it creates a critical mass of pressure. you called it isolation. the israeli media is melodramatically calling it a diplomatic tsunami. israel is ostracized. israel is regarded as a rogue state. we're on the brink of being a pariah state. you know, north korea's top. okay, that's a lot of drama, but it's not far from the truth in the sense that there is this this body of international pressure that is being formed against the government. so there's so much the government could stand idly and and dismiss it offhandedly saying, oh, well, they don't get

it. they do get it. >> all right. we'll have to leave it there. always appreciate getting your expertise on this podcast. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you kim. >> well, donald trump has big plans for the white house ahead. a look at the massive $200 million ballroom he's having built. stay with us. >> he was. >> chasing wealth. >> and power at. >> any cost. >> even murder. >> billionaire boys club sunday at ten on cnn. >> some people. >> have minor joint. >> pain plus certain stomach problems. >> they may not. >> be able to. >> take just anything for pain. >> that's why. doctors recommend tylenol. it won't irritate your stomach. >> the way aleve. >> advil or motrin can. >> for trusted relief. >> trust tylenol. >> look, we're great with teeth. we're toothbrushes. >> but we're. >> not the best with tongues, cheeks, and everything. >> in between. >> we need backup. the clinically proven essential oils

areas, which may face closing due to lack of funds. the smithsonian has removed references to donald trump's two impeachments from an exhibit on the presidency. the group removed a board with information about the impeachments. last month, the smithsonian tells cnn the decision was made after reviewing the museum's legacy content. one of president trump's executive orders calls on the smithsonian to downplay parts of american history and to, quote, remove improper ideology from such properties. when asked about the removal, the white house said the smithsonian has, quote, highlighted, divisive dei exhibits which are out of touch with mainstream america. president trump is adding a $200 million ballroom to the white house. cnn correspondent brian todd has more on that. and how other presidents have changed the white house. >> president trump has long been fixated on leaving his own personal imprint on the white house grounds. his latest project will cost about $200 million, he says. >> they wanted a ballroom at the white house for more than 150

years construction begins next month on a grand ballroom at the white house, which will resemble the ornate donald j. >> trump ballroom at mar-a-lago. there will be gold and crystal chandeliers, according to the renderings. gilded corinthian columns, a coffered ceiling with gold inlays, gold floor lamps and a checkered marble floor. three walls of arched windows will look out over the white house south lawn. >> it's certainly a departure from the historic. elements of the rest of the state floor of. >> the. >> white house. >> the president and his team characterized this as a necessary addition to the white house, which has often hosted major events in a temporary tent that trump calls a disaster, especially when it rains. >> people are a slopping down to to the tent. it's not a pretty sight. the women, with their lovely evening gowns, all of their hair all done and they're a mess by the time they get in. >> this is certainly not the first ambitious addition or renovation to the white house. in 1902, theodore roosevelt

undertook an extensive remodeling which relocated the president's offices to the west wing. in the late 1940s, harry truman basically had to gut the entire infrastructure of the white house. >> what truman did was he oversaw the restoration of a white house that was. >> falling apart. >> it was so weak that one of the legs. >> of. >> margaret truman's piano broke through the. floor in the residence of the white. >> house. >> first lady jacqueline kennedy brought in historic furniture and fine art. >> jackie kennedy wanted the white house to be a museum quality. when people came to visit, she wanted them to see the finest. american art furniture, but also to capture the history of the white house. >> president trump says the $200 million project will be funded by him and other private donors. trump's already replacing the white house rose garden with a patio, but still keeping the roses. he also added a flagpole and a massive flag, and he's added his taste for gold to the oval office. here's a comparison from just after last year's election to more recently.

>> most usually change. >> out the carpet and the draperies. >> and some art. but he definitely. changed out more than is, i think, standard for presidents, and it reveals his preferences. >> white house press secretary karoline leavitt said the ballroom project is expected to be completed long before the end of president trump's term. trump himself offered to build a new white house ballroom when barack obama was president, and trump says it would have been about half the cost of the current project. but trump says he never heard back from obama's team on the idea. brian todd, cnn, the white house what do you get when you mix fashion and politics? >> weeks of online controversy. that's what happened when clothing retailer american eagle released new advertising starring a popular actress. cnn's elizabeth wagmeister reports sydney sweeney has very keynes. >> one of gen z's biggest celebrities, starring in an american eagle campaign. now at the center of a culture wars

firestorm. >> genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. >> with critics saying the ad promotes the discredited theory of eugenics. a woman of color would not have been hired for this advertisement. that is a purposeful act. why? because eugenics is deeply tied to the notion that some races are better than others. but yet, sydney sweeney's ad is really speaking to this political moment. the ad has remained in the headlines for a full week now, spawning seamlessly endless parodies. >> john sauer, pastels. >> personality and even eye. >> color. countless puns. >> hitler did. >> briefly model. for mein comfort fit jeans. >> and even support from the trump administration. >> my political. >> advice to the. democrats is continue. >> to. >> tell everybody. >> who.
